Will the Bills Win Out?

[SageAgainstTheMachine]

People don't grok probabilities very well.  Let's assign these (perhaps too generous) chances of winning each game...

 

Bengals - 65%

Patriots - 50%

Browns - 80%

Eagles - 60%

Jets - 80%

 

The chances of winning all five under those auspices is 12%.

If the Bills have nothing to play for vs the Jets, then you know they will rest their starters and get ready for WC weekend. If they treat that game like a preseason game, then I would say the Jets will win that game.

Too inconsistent to put a streak together.

Nope. Injuries are killing us.

Well, if there was a time for the team to get hot, this would be it...heading down the stretch into the playoffs.

 

Just to note: remember in 2023 things didn't look too great after going back-and-forth with wins for 9 weeks (win-loss-win-loss-win-loss-loss-win-loss) and then the Bills went on a 5-game win streak to close out the season against: KC (11-6), Dallas (12-5), LAC (5-12), Pats (4-13), and Miami (11-6). That scenario was even more improbable than them doing it this year.

 

Can the Bills win out? Absolutely. Are the odds in favor of them winning out? No.

 

But at this point, even if we can't steal the division back, just get yourselves in playoff mode. Balls to the wall, lay it all on the line time.

I would be happy with 2 consecutive wins. Not likely.
